Ireland has passed the second referendum on the Lisbon Treaty with an overwhelming majorityImage by infomatique
Ireland has passed the second referendum on the Lisbon Treaty with an overwhelming majority of 67 per cent in favor.

Ireland was the only EU member state to hold a referendum on Lisbon, though there have been calls for referendums in several countries. Last year 46.6% of Irish voted "Yes" and 53.4% "No", and the rejection of the treaty plunged the EU into political gridlock so the Irish Government undertook to hold a second referendum.

The second referendum took place yesterday (October 2) and the voted were counted today.

Yesterday’s turnout was 58 per cent with 1,214,268 people voting for the treaty and 594,606 voting against. This was higher than the 53.13 per cent turnout for the first referendum on Lisbon.

The No side were much better resourced for the first Lisbon campaign and they ran an excellent poster campaign while the Government campaign was half-hearted and unfocused. The majority of the Yes posters were photographs of local and national politicians and some did not even appear to indicate how they wanted the public vote.

In 2009 the No side seriously misjudged their poster campaign, they suggested that the minimum wage would drop to Euro 1.84 per hour and that Ireland would become an aircraft carrier for a European superstate. Some posters implied that Turkish workers would invade Ireland taking Irish jobs and forcing the Irish to seek employment abroad. Sinn Féin claimed that voting yes to Lisbon would result in an increase in military spending which was a bit of an own-goal.

A Coir ad and poster campaign claimed that Lisbon effectively provides a backdoor for the introduction of euthanasia to Ireland. Spokeswoman Niamh Ui Bhriain said the treaty would give EU courts the right to decide on abortion and euthanasia.

Sinn Féin vice-president and anti-Lisbon campaigner Mary Lou McDonald said the vote should not be seen as an indication of support for the Government parties.

Nigel Farage the UKIP MEP and leading Eurosceptic described the result as "a victory for big money, a victory for thuggery and a travesty of democracy".

Brussels, Saturday 3 October 2009 Statement
José Manuel BARROSO President of the European Commission
on the outcome of the Irish Referendum

03/10/2009

"It’s a great day, for Ireland and for Europe" said president Barroso after the positive outcome of the Irish Lisbon Treaty referendum. "I see the yes vote as a sign of confidence by the Irish people in the EU, as a sign of their desire to be wholehearted members at the heart of the EU. A sign that Ireland recognises the role that the EU has played in responding to the economic crisis." Commenting the campaign, the mass of information available for the citizens and the legal guarantees – including the retention of a commissioner per Member State – president Barroso believed these played a significant role in helping people make up their minds and in meeting the legitimately expressed concerns voiced by the Irish people in June 2008. "Now that all Member States have democratically approved the Lisbon Treaty,” he concluded, “I hope that the necessary procedures for its entry into force can be completed as quickly as possible in Poland and the Czech Republic."

Integration marketing is a phrase coined by my friend and mentor, Mark Joyner. It is a great technique that anyone with an internet business can use to explode their business…and it is something that I teach people who want to know how to make money online-because it really made a big, big difference in my own online business-it helped me to increase my profits, grow my list and explode my business!

So if your intention is to master integration marketing…which is a great goal…the first thing you are going to want to do is actually just start doing it!

Get involved in real integration marketing processes. Find people who are going to do these types of deals with you-and actually do them! You just can’t master a process by studying it! You have got to do it…step by step.

Then you have to see what happens…I mean, don’t just casually sit back, observe the results. Put yourself in the role of the observer…of a scientist. Say to yourself, “I tried X and got ___ result.” Then see if you see a pattern there. And then you are going to test the theory you came up with to see if you are right!

So you start by writing up a sample thank you page with your offer on it… and don’t worry about getting it perfect the first time-just do it!

Then you find some people who are interested in putting your offer on their thank you pages. Call them up, email them, whatever, and propose the idea of putting your offer on their page.

If you can, you want to have some rapport with the people you contact. Maybe you met them at a live event, or you are following them on Twitter and you Tweet back and forth. If you become friendly…genuinely, not just in a temporary until-I-get-what-I-want-from-you kind of way…that can be the best contacts for integration marketing…because you already have some sort of relationship.

What if you don’t know anybody…if you have a great offer now and you don’t want to wait months to build a friendship with people? Well, you don’t have to be buddies with everyone you want to do a project with. You can contact people and be very business-like about it. This is what I want to do, this is how it will benefit you, etc.

That’s how most of the business world operates and there is nothing wrong with it. Give it a shot and see what happens.

Bottom line is if you want to know how to make money online with integration marketing…you just have to take the steps and do it. Keep doing the steps and you will master the process. In the meantime you will be growing your business and making money…just don’t let anything stop you from moving forward!
